ALASKA: Food inspection reports now available on-line - (State of Alaska, Department of Environmental Conservation)
July 11, 2008 – 8:41 pmThe Department of Environmental Conservations (DEC) Food Safety and Sanitation Program announced today that food inspection reports as well as active food and seafood permits are now available on the internet.
Inspection reports give a snapshot view of the conditions of a food establishment and their food safety practices while under inspection. The major emphasis of the inspections is on practices known to be directly linked with the causes of foodborne illnesses.
It is important to remember that an inspection report may not tell you of the overall, long-term cleanliness of a restaurant. Many times, violations are corrected before the Health Officer leaves the establishment, noted Ron Klein, FSS Program Manager. We know the public has been very interested in viewing this information, but the best way to know if a restaurant is safe is to be an informed consumer. Diners can learn how to be informed consumers at:
